These silly theories and looking for things that simply are not there.Saints have been blowing teams away because they are a good football team. The Lions were desperate to win yesterday. Win and they are away to New York/Dallas and they would fancy their chances and have momentum going into the playoffs. Lose and its off to to a 13-3 team on fire and a serious dent to the confidence.
Don't over think (that is what you are doing) the facts are simple. Detroit couldn't beat a team playing backups with nothing to play for. They now have to go on the road to the hottest team in football. People are focusing way to much a last year, which has nothing whatsoever got to do with this year. The Saints will use last year as motivation, that's the only stat you have to worry about from last year. The Lions have already been beaten by the Saints and this is the last place they would have wanted to go (bar Green bay)..
The problem for Detroit is that they are far too one dimensional. They don't have a rushing game, so the Saints can afford to drop extra players back in coverage. Detroit is 26th against the rush and I see NO running more then expected. If the run gets going how can they stop Brees? They can't. New Orleans is a FAR better football team then Detroit. That is the only stat that matters. So far this season anytime Detroit has faced top ranked opposition it hasn't covered the spread. The line is set this high to reel in the Lions Backers and it seems many on this site has fallen for the Line.
Fade Detroit in a dome against a top team always! If you don't have balance on offense against the top teams you get exposed (as has been proven)..This will be Detroit playing catchup and Stafford making mistakes. Saints will win by more then 14 this time...
Good football teams don't lose must win games against their biggest rivals playing backups! This is the point that is just not registering with you.
If they win they have a legitimate shot at beating the Giants and then who knows. They haven't beaten (or covered the spread) against the elite teams in the NFC. Green Bay, San Francisco, New Orleans. They couldn't get it done last week when they badly needed to and know you expect a team who hasn't shown any kind of winning mentality against the top teams to suddenly turn it on!
The public preception that Detroit is not a very good team is spot on and I am quite sure will cost you again. There is no hidden agenda or secret here. Even if Detroit covers, New Orleans was the correct play pre game based on Factual Evidence...
1) New Orleans has covered the spread in every home game this season..
2) Detroit has failed to cover the spread against the better teams this season....
To bet against New Orleans (even if you are lucky enough to get a back door cover) is the incorrect play and your reasons for playing it are either invalid of incorrect...Detroit is too one demensional on offence and too atrocious on defense to keep this close..
